Israeli occupation forces began demolishing several houses in the village of Anzah, located south of Jenin in the northern West Bank, the Ma'an news agency reported. The operation targeted residential structures in the Palestinian community, with heavy machinery deployed to the area to carry out the destruction.
The demolitions are part of a broader pattern of home destruction in Palestinian territories. Israel has long justified such operations on security grounds, though Palestinian officials and rights groups characterize them as collective punishment. Residents of Anzah were not immediately reached for comment on the number of families affected by the operation or their current whereabouts.
